Server Error in '/' Application. The request failed with HTTP status

Asked By: Nagendra Ratnalikar Date: Dec 26, 2009 Category: MOSS Views: 847

I have 3 project web sites on medium size SharePoint 2007 farm. On
each of them the default.aspx page is displaying this error:
____________________________________________________________
Server Error in '/' Application.
The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of
the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more
information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Net.WebException: The request failed with
HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
_________________________________________________________________

I can hit other pages in the SharePoint site.

I cannot connect to the Project Server with a client.

The web front end is displaying this error from the server
application log file:

Please check with your permission levels with in the
sharepoint site .I meant to say whether are you adminstrator of the site or
full control over the site .

Answer #2 Answered By: Claire May Answered On: Dec 26, 2009

I am a full control administer on the
SharePoint Portal and on the Project Site, and within the Project
administration settings.

The sites were all working for about 2 months, and then mysteriously
started failing with this error.

The Web server Application log error indicates the service account
for the SSP application pool:

Trust level: Full
Application Virtual Path: /
Application Path: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\tmss\
Machine name: %frontendwebserver%

Process information:
Process ID: 2692
Process name: w3wp.exe
Account name: %applicationPoolAcct%

Is it possible that one of your service accounts on the farm may in
fact have a password that expired? That would account why life was
good for 2 months then it died. I am thinking of farm accounts, search
accounts, etc.

Answer #4 Answered By: Phenil Poriya Answered On: Dec 26, 2009

Check to make sure the application pools are running correctly and that
those accounts have the necessary permissions

Additionally, where there any funky or custom web parts added to the default
page or perhaps the master.default page? You may have to open the default
page in maintenance mode and close the offending webpart or remove any
custom code. It could also be a file permission issue (i.e.
inpub/wwwroot/virtualdirectories/wss/80/) or an IIS specific setting.

Check the IIS logs in c:\windows\system32\logfiles\<id number of your moss
site> and see what it says.
